The 2024 Paris Olympics have come to a close, with attention now turning to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Lacrosse, cricket, baseball, softball, flag football, and squash are set to return or make their debut in L.A., while boxing and breaking face uncertain futures. Boxing is in jeopardy due to problems within the sport’s international leadership, with efforts being made to establish a new governing body. The 2028 Olympics are being planned as a “no-car Games,” with an emphasis on public transportation and remote work to manage traffic. Despite concerns about transportation challenges, officials are confident that the city can handle the Games with a combination of buses and work-from-home strategies. Olympic fans are uncertain about the impact of the Games on Southern California freeways, with some planning to limit attendance to events on the west side of L.A. Overall, the future of certain sports in the Olympics remains uncertain, while preparations are underway for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
